Download IBM WEBi Version 1.0.4 Fix Pack 4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Oracle made Java 6 Update 24 available to the public on February
  15, 2011.
  Any Java Runtime Environments (JREs) made available, by Oracle,
  on or after February 15, 2011, have a change in the security
  implementation/policy which, when running on the browser machine
  (the JRE that WebSphere is running on, does not matter) causes
  the WEBi email applet, when invoked, to fail immediately after
  initialization. The effect of this failure is that WEBi
  end-users cannot successfully use WEBi' email functionality
  (both of the following WEBi functionalities fail: the WEBi
  functionality that emails a document as an attachment, and the
  WEBi functionality that emails a WEBi link to a document).
  
  The following is one example of the exception stack trace in the
  java console on the browser machine: (there are other stack
  traces that are possible)

Local fix

• Use a JRE that Oracle made available before February 15, 2011.
  
  Examples include, but are certainly not limited to, Java 6
  Update 23.
  

Problem summary

• The email function in IBM WEBi does not work with Java Runtime
  Environment 1.6.0.24 or higher.
  

Problem conclusion

• The email function in IBM WEBi Version 1.0.4 Fix Pack 4 works
  with the supported versions of the Java Runtime Environment
  Version 1.5 or later. (See the following article for any known
  problems with JRE versions: Article #1474236.)
  
  Remember: You must use Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version
  1.5 or later in order to use the following functions:
  
  * Sending email
  * Checking documents in and out
  * Adding documents
  * Downloading documents
  * Viewing documents in the applet viewer
  * Editing documents (requires JRE 1.6)
